    Default Say that you only had second stringers to fill the JLA Line up....

    I remember a couple years back with the obsidian age debacle and the JLA roster chainged significantly for a brief period.

    Who would you put in the roster to keep the book selling and keep the DC universe safe at the same time? No cheating by writing the entire JSA roster or Titan Roster.


    1. Firestorm
    2. The Ray
    3. Lobo
    4. Triumph (reformed)
    5. Jason Blood
    6. Black Canary
    7. Guy Gardener
    8. Zatana

    LOL!!! True but just like the Avengers they had to give all those great guys the boot to make JLA top seller so how would you execute making it a top seller with the handicap of second stringers?

    Basically, I'd cut the Big Seven and fill out the roster with characters who have some history of carrying a book. Hence:

    Green Arrow
    Black Canary
    Oracle
    Hawkman
    The Atom
    Captain Marvel

    Arrow and Canary provide romantic tension, while Hawkman and Arrow provide just plain tension, and Canary and Oracle have a great working relationship. The Atom brings the brains, and Marvel brings the muscle.

    I like Gauss' selection a lot. I would probably be more partial to Zatanna over Oracle though and I would throw in Booster Gold for kicks.

    Yeah, if we had to cut the out the big dogs, I wouldn't mind reading a JLA featuring those guys.

    But really, it's not the JLA with out the icons. ;)

    Zauriel was a good JLAer.

    Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter, and Orion. That would be a fun read.
